My Firewire 410 according to M-Audio needs to be at the end of the Firewire buss, but unfortunately I only have one port on my Powerbook Ti 500 + I also have a 250Gb firewire800 drive with only 1 firewire 400 port, which more or less narrows down my possibilities. Also, if anyone can recommend or offer any advice on decent 6 port firewire hubs as well, as I can't find any reviews anywhere ?? Thanks
